It’s time for a knitting round up, I think!
\nI’d love to show you the finished Hanging Garden Stole, but I can’t.
\nIt’s not finished. Well, it’s blocked and all, and I’m very pleased with it. But I still haven’t fixed that dropped stitch, or woven in the ends. Next time.
\nThe Slinky Socks.

\nComing along quite well. But last night, I discovered a problem.
\n

\nObviously, I’m less stressed using dpns. My gauge is different, and this sock is bigger than the original. At this point though, I don’t care, I just want them over and done with. I think the first one was a little on the tight side anyway. (I’m going to keep telling myself that!)
\nThey’re nearly done now. Just a little more foot to go, then I can do the toe and heel, and forget that they ever existed.
\nOoh, I did finish a whole other sock.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI couldn’t resist. When I finished my last post, I had to go cast on my little red sock kit that I got from The Loopy Ewe<\/a>. At least it came out right!
\nThe Hemlock Ring Blanket is temporarily stalled.

\nMy needle is full. I can’t fit any more stitches on the needle. I’m up to row 112, which is an increase row, so I’m stuck until I get a longer cable. The chart goes up to row 116, but I’ve still got plenty of yarn, so I’m just going to keep going until I run out.
\nAnd Nicole is the current front runner.

\nThis is a great knit, and I’m really enjoying the Cathay. Here’s a closer look.

\nI’m just starting the body patterning, but I’ve already used up a ball and a half of the five balls of yarn required. I love a quick knit!
\nIn other news, Karen over at Needles and Wool<\/a> had a competition a little while back, and I was one of the lucky winners. Look at the lovely package that arrived in yesterday’s mail!

\nA gorgeous<\/em> hank of Handspun Corriedale from Crown Mountain Farms, some luscious Lindt dark chocolate, lovely little notecards (I really love notecards!), and a super cute little sheep kit. I wanted to cast on for the sheep straight away, but I’m saving it as a reward for finishing my Hemlock.
\nWell, I’m trying. But you saw how successful I was with the Red Sock Kit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
